New Cat MTL's...

[Tags]

I went to the equipment show here on Wednesday and spoke to the guys from H.O. Penn, the Cat dealer here, and was asking about updating the 287B, he told me that the "new" 287 is going to be redesigned from the grond up and will be sporting the new generation of ASV's undercarriage. They will also be releasing a 297 as well, about the same weight as the 287 but more HP and possibly more loading height. He also said that both machines will have considerably more breakout force at the bucket, pressurized cabs, and vertical lift and should be available this summer.

Good to hear, we have been looking at the 287B on and off, sounds like we should see what the summer brings

So, will they be designated "C" model?
